It isn't going well..

Tried these steps a couple of times: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661631

But I get this error: "ADB out of date" with the temp_root tool but it looks like it's working, then I've used the ControlBear tool, here I get the same error and after waiting a while: "secondary backup failed", now my device doesn't work proper!

First a message that locations is crashed, and then sense is starting over and over again... :( and now system ui is crashed.. Can't work with my phone now! Tried to restart but everything keeps crashing...

Please help me!!

Should I restore a backup created trough Droid Explorer (I think it's the same as "adb backup")?

UPDATE

Replaced the adb files with newest ones from sdk and the "out of date" messages are gone! Just have run the "temp_root_remove" tool and now my device works as it has to be.

I'll give it another try now!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
that i was going to say you right now.haha

but you figured it out by yourself:good:
[HTC Sensation] royduin:
Just runned the temp_root, that was going fine now, but now I'm running the ControlBear tool and it looks like it isn't going further. I see the follow now for a half an hour:

Any ideas?

UPDATE

Closed the command and runned the ControlBear tool again:

Note:

I haven't installed HTC Sync!

I copied the newest adb files from the sdk to the ControlBear folder too..

UPDATE

Directly after starting the ControlBear tool I replaced the adb tool in de tmp folder with the newest ones from the sdk! Now it looks like it's going good! :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
hmm,

have you checked all the prerequisites that needed from juopnutmear thread?
[HTC Sensation] royduin:
As I specified in my next update it's going good now, but I have to do the wire trick now but I can't open my phone with the usb cable plugged in.. I'll give it a try all over again

UPDATE

All done :) now I'm going to the next step: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472298

Thanks! Meanwhile I've upgraded the firmware to! So if I read further what your wrote:

But I've got the 4EXT Recovery already (v1.0.0.5 RC5), installed it as specified in the firmware upgrade guide. But if I read further I've to install the rom now, but how? I don't read something about installing this..

I hope you can help me again! :)

And.. I've made a backup of the "smurf village" app only trough the "adb backup" method, if everything is installed later, can I restore that one so maybe I've got the app and the save game back?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
it has steps on how to install the rom.see again

you missed it

about the game i assume you won't have any problem
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
Jump to the cm10 rom thread and download the latest rom + gapps.

Boot to recovery

Backup your current rom!

Wipe/ format all partitions (except SD card)

Install from sdcard: select cm10

: select gapps

Reboot, and enjoy :) first boot will take a little while so make yourself a cuppa :)

[HTC Sensation] royduin:
Thanks! Up and running! But... my contacts are gone, they where on my sim card.. When I choose import from simcard no contacts are found and I haven't backup-ed up my contacts specific. Can I go back and get them someway? (I've got a full backup made trough "adb backup" and a backup made trough the recovery)

UPDATE

I had lookout installed, after installing CM it asked to download all previous apps back, so I agreed. Lookout was installing too and has made some backups in the past so I've restored my contacts only and have them all backup again!

I'm curious about the save game for the "smurfs village" app. It's installed automatically, but haven't started it yet. What do you advise, start it before restoring or restore and then start?

UPDATE 2

Sadly lookout haven't backed-up my contacts the right way, so I've got names without phone numbers.. Any ideas how to get them back?

UPDATE 3

Still got no contacts :(

Meanwhile I've restored the backup for the "smurf village" app and got my save game back!
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
OK you should reboot to recovery.

Nandroid backup!!!

Restore htc stock rom from back up.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Reboot.

If boot fails after 10 minutes reboot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset then try again.

Or, get another Android that is not on jellybean and put in your simcard. Backup your contacts to the sdcard.

Then put the sim + sdcard into the sensation and then restore contacts from the sdcard.

For whatever reason jellybean roms don't play nice with simcard contacts..

tapped out from my sexy sensation XE ;)
[HTC Sensation] royduin:
Thanks again! Just put my simcard in a old phone and there they are! :) Now I have to transfer them, but that will be no problem.

Hereby, I think my last "two" questions:

1) I've installed "cm-10-20130109-bruce2728-pyramid", but what to do when there's a update available? Searched in the current rom but it doesn't look like there's an auto update function. And how about the play store, will that be auto updated?

2) Everything runs very fast now but It's ugly! (as you told) In settings there's a theme option with just one theme. Where can I get themes or maybe some Sense 3.6 look a like theme with the clock, weather and agenda widgets?
[HTC Sensation] royduin:
Someone? :angel:
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
Sorry for the late reply, I was busy ;) anyway to install the updates for bruces cm10 rom simply download then and flash them from recovery. You can make a backup beforehand if you wish ( it is usually advised) as far as the ota updates are concerned if one is pushed your phone should say a update is available. Download it and then reboot to recovery etc. :)

As far as good looking style goes look on the play market for themes for cm10 and download the apps. Then go to theme manager in the settings and select what one you like. You can also try out different launchers to give them themes as well. And last but not least a while ago a dev made a installable apk version of the sense 4 clock so you can install that and still have that sexy clock on aokp :D

If you need more help pm me man I will see it faster ;)

[HTC Sensation] Renegade_Darling:
I'd flash it with a custom ROM. The speed increase will blow your mind. You can have custom ROMs that look just like stock but are faster, are the next sense version (ViperS with sense 4.1 - much nicer), a project (like cyanogenmod or AOKP) or go for pure android (AOSP).

To get to this stage you need to root your existing version of android. Once you have done that you can install titanium backup and bring some stuff with you to the new ROM (texts and calls are easy). I'd just reinstall your apps as it only takes 30 mins to get it how you like it from scratch. If you back up your contacts by google that is very simple.

As for auto update, once you have flashed a ROM once you will see how easy it is and there is little point in autp updating. Some ROMs (ViperS) do over the air (OTA) updating but I've never tried it.

There is little point in using apps to make your version of android perform better. Flash it and you will not look back.
[HTC Sensation] royduin:
@heavy_metal_man: Thanks again! Just installed that Sense clock and I'm happy now :) When there is an update maybe I'll have some new questions but for now I don't now how much I can thank you!!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2978913:
OK so I got this phone a few days ago and jumped right in, looking for one main thing in a rom. Good camera. and what I have found from flashing back (starting with) stock 2.2.1 is that the camera rocks. Very quick shot response time and the options are great, along with sharp pictures. But at the same time it was lacking features in the os that you can't live without at this point. ( its been so long since I have used a 2.2.1 ROM like omg) then moved on to stock GB and same UI and speed just crap for

quality, what's up with that. So the natural course is to then move on to CM builds

starting with 7.2 and in this I found everything I wanted an advanced os with a good

camera. The issue with this is that for the life of me I could not enable the shutter

sound so now on to my questions.

#1-In CM7.2 stable how can I enable the shutter sound. ( don't ask why I want it, I'll

just tell you I'm OCD and it was driving me nuts)

#2-Is there a mod for build 9-10 that could give me a type of options UI like that of the stock ROMs such a night mode, Iso selection etc...

#3-Is there a fully working photosphere mod for our device.

#4-What do you all think. What rom gives you the best image quality (x) options and are there mods to make our cameras better.

There is no photosphere mod for our device because of hardware limitations.

I went through the process of getting the amazon app store, which I have done with other phones, and it went through the whole download, but would not install because I had forgotten to allow non-Play store apps in settings. I corrected that and tried again, but now it will only begin the download and then fail. I have looked for running apps that I might clear, have restarted the phone and nothing works. Still can't install the AA Store. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kat3k:
Never mind. Figured it out. For some reason it would not allow any subsequent download attempts, but I was able to find the original download through Astro and install it from there. Odd but true.
[HTC Desire S] zidane_argun:
:confused: help me, i have followed the instruction from htcdev.com to unlock my desire s bootloader with HBOOT 2.00.002.. after that i found my bootloader with text UNLOCKED but still it shows S-ON.

And then i continued to try root my desire s, i followed instructions that i found in this forum (thanks :D) after finished, i tried to install some apps that need root access but i found that my desire s is not rooted (the apps said that).

The last things that i want to asked is, when i go to fastboot menu, i point to recovery mode and i found my desire with Revolutionary 4.0.1.4. I searched info about that things (revolutionary), i found many people said that if i have success install Revolutionary that means i have successfully rooted my device.

:confused: is there anybody could help and explained to me about those problems? i would very appreciate that ;)
[HTC Desire S] ContactFront:
Revolutionary 4.0.1.4 is a custom recovery. Installing a custom recovery alone does NOT give you root access.

READ index thread in the forum and you'll have your answers

seems like you still have not read the index.... You need root to flash a custom ROM(duh) :rolleyes::rolleyes:since I am in a pretty good mood today so....

1.root your device

2 . Download your preferred ROM

3.flash your ROM

4.IMPORTANT!!!find your boot. img extracting it from the rom you downloaded

5.go to fastboot

6. connect your phone to computer

7.open CMD

8.cd to our directory(ensure you have adb and fastboot first)

9.

fastboot erase boot

fastboot boot boot. img

11.reboot and enjoy

1.root your device - not needed if he is going to flash a Custom. They are all rooted anyway. I think step 1 should be: flash a custom recovery

...

fastboot boot boot. img

- this will boot the kernel only, but after a restart of the device it will be gone. The command to use is :

fastboot flash boot boot.img

11.reboot and enjoy - that is all right ;)
[HTC Desire S] zidane_argun:
Thanks before :D

Now i have read the index, i found many tutorials to root my device there. i followed some.

but i have a problems when i want to root my device, i tried using SuperOneClick apps. I have done every single requirements of that tutorial.

The problem is i think my device is still not rooted. The first time i used SuperOneClick it shows finished & OK, then i reboot my device.

and then i tried to install some apps that needs rooted device, but those apps tell me that my device isn't rooted!

I tried to root my device using SuperOneClick again, but it always stuck in step #7 (Wait for Device).

any solutions for this problems?

Did i missed something to do?

Well this is pretty outdated.

The attached is the latest 4EXT Recovery, touch edition.

Extract the recovery.img from the zip and flash:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then from the bootloader menu reboot to recovery and select backup/restore -> Backup. After the backup is done go back to the main menu, select wipe/format -> Wipe all partitions (except SDcard). When done select Install zip from the main menu and flash the ROM from your sdcard. After that reboot to bootloader from the Power menu and flash the boot.img as described in my previous post

there is really no "best" rom. it's all down to your personal preference.

so if you see something interesting then just go ahead give it a try and decide for yourself.
